20 Years Of Mac OS X & The Beginning Of A New Era For Mac

For the user, it's entirely simple – they snap a photo and it appears in the Photos app, where it can be viewed, sorted, or searched for. However, there's an entire process behind this function, as explained by a very interesting "white paper" from Apple. In this article, the roles that analysis and machine learning take in the process.

Apple's switch to in-house Mac processors has already taken place. Reports of this happening eventually began in 2014-2015. A former Intel engineer has now confirmed that the decision was to make the switch was made during this time after several mistakes on Intel's part – leading to the voices critical of Intel prevailing at Apple.

After years of heading Apple's hardware engineering division, Dan Riccio is stepping down and leaving room for a successor. Apple announced the staff change with a press release, furthermore, Riccio will remain a part of the company – to work on completely new projects.

A new report from Bloomberg predicts the release of an exceptionally powerful VR headset in 2022 – and covers the difficulties Apple has had developing a set of AR glasses. It'll likely take a while until either become available.

The production of the current line of iPhones is getting a rework. Apple's prognoses don't seem to agree with sales, with deviations occurring for both the iPhone 12 Pro and mini.

Apple has recently created a gallery of photos to show off the iPhone 12's camera system named "Shot on the iPhone 12", with shots ranging from black and white photos to Kuwait's starry sky.

News of Apple's plans for the rumored car is becoming more and more concrete. Now it's even rumored that Apple is already far enough into talks with Hyundai that production sites have been discussed – and that Apple wants to rely on Kia.

Wearables like the Apple Watch can detect evidence of COVID – even before the start of symptoms. Two studies describe changes to heart rate variability and resting pulse (all things which the Apple Watch measures), which point to signs of infection.

iFixit has made a conclusion about the repairability of the AirPods Max – and it's a good one, partially due to the easy removal of the headband attaching the earpieces together. This increases the possibility of users customizing their headphones.

Our monthly roundup takes a look at how long you might have to wait to receive some of Apple's newly updated hardware. In the case of the AirPods Max, there's barely light at the end of the tunnel.

Until recently, Apple was one of Intel's primary customers. Now, they're the source of most of Intel's competition. Even when Apple isn't selling their M1 chips to other manufacturers, Intel's new CEO has clearly illustrated how he views the company's former partner.

In a long interview with AMD CEO countless questions were raised concerning the company and current chip-world. The M1 was also mentioned, with Su praising Apple's innovative approach.

Intel is undergoing a surprising change of leadership. The chip giant's problems have become well known, as well as the call for a radical change of course. That staff are also being handled so radically comes as a surprise.

The hardware defect known as "staingate" that has afflicted several versions of the MacBook Pro is still circling. Apple has already extended the period of the free repair program for affected devices multiple times. Although it'll stay this way, the company is now changing its approach.

Ming Chi-Kuo, and Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, present their predictions for the 2021 MacBook Pro, which – if correct, mean that the MacBook Pro is in for a significant upgrade as well as an abundance of new features and changes.

Market analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reports that Apple isn't planning any major improvements to hardware of the iPhones camera systems and this isn't expected to change until 2022 or 2023.

Exactly 25 years ago it looked as if Apple would need to be bought out to avoid banktrupcy. The dissolution of the brand would have accompanied the purchase – as Sun Microsystems wasn't interested in continuing the brand.

Intel has given us all a first look at the future of the x86 world – with a new chip design. Intel's new chip is similar to Apple's M1 chips in at least one aspect: multiple core types. Unfortunately for Intel, these new chips have no future at Apple.

The next phase of testing for macOS has already begun, although we'll still need to wait awhile for the official announcement. Apple has been testing macOS 12 since yesterday, with traces of macOS 12 noticeable in server statistics.

Although there aren't any official numbers yet, a market researcher has calculated the market share of Apple's new M1 notebooks with a prognosis for the current year – and it doesn't bode well for Intel or Windows.

The M1 Macs' software diversity has yet again been expanded upon with the Parallels 16 technical preview. The software's functionality has already been proven on ARM Macs. Now it's Microsoft's turn to change their licensing model.
